Below are some of classes that we think are the best acting classes offered in San Diego. These have either been recommended to us by other actors, ones we’ve heard good things about. This will be an evolving list, so if a new class that we like pops-up, we’ll add it or if we hear that one has gone down hill, we’ll remove it.
